Report: Empowering Ugandan Girls, Enriching Futures Introduction PLATFORM for the NEEDY (PLANE) is dedicated to empowering Ugandan girls by raising awareness and educating youth on sexual education and reproductive health issues. Our mission is to enrich futures and create lasting change in the lives of adolescents and young women in Uganda. Funding Update Despite the numerous challenges faced by young girls in rural and semi-urban areas of Uganda, our project has struggled to secure adequate funding. However, in May 2025, we were fortunate to receive support from three generous donors, totaling $25. This funding allowed us to facilitate three educational TV shows on Fort TV, focusing on essential topics such as “Embracing Family Planning, Family Planning Contraceptives and Advantages,” and the utilization of family planning contraceptives. Educational Outreach The TV shows were both educational and interactive, featuring Dr. Denis, a Reproductive Health Expert. We encourage you to watch the episodes to gain insights into our mission but they are in local language: • Show 1: Embracing Family Planning • Show 2: Family Planning Contraceptives

Challenges Faced Unfortunately, we faced significant obstacles in reaching schools due to a lack of funds for transportation. However, we are determined to overcome this hurdle and plan to conduct field visits in the upcoming quarter. Appreciation We extend our heartfelt gratitude to GlobalGiving for their support and for hosting us on their platform. A special thank you goes to our dedicated donors whose contributions have made a difference. Your continued support is vital, as the conditions in Uganda remain challenging. Without your generosity, our work and impact would not be possible. Call to Action With your passion and support, PLANE Uganda is committed to driving communities toward lasting change in the lives of Ugandan adolescents and young girls. We invite you to share our mission with friends and institutions to help amplify our message and reach more individuals in need. Conclusion Together, we can empower the next generation of Ugandan girls and enrich their futures. Thank you for standing with us in this vital mission. Stephen Waddell PLANE Leader
